myself and huw discussed how exciting chile and colombia are - 3-3 it finish last night and it sounded an absolutely cracking game. Despite losing 1-0 to Ecuador, Uruguay have qualified for the play offs atleast. Can go through automatically and displace Chile if they win at home to Argentina in Montevideo and Chile lost at home in Santiago to Ecuador.

For all the talk of how bad the Colombian defense is compared to the attack, it's worth noting that they've only conceded 12 goals in 15 qualifying games. That's tied for the best defensive record along with Argentina. They were the best with only nine goals before last nights game.

EDIT: To be fair, Colombia's defense was pretty crappy last night.

Oh and: USA! USA! USA!

It's qualifying though pal. Argentina's defence for the record is hopeless too. For the great strides that south american teams have made since the collective league table format was introduced, brazil has been absent from this qualifying campaign and whilst sides like Ecuador have ascended and improved greatly it's conincided with Paraguay downward spiral too.

Next year I can see the likes of Yepes and Zapata just getting rinsed by the likes of Navas or Reus if they make it to the quarters or round of 16. But they've got some superb option in midfield and up front like Quintero, Rodriguez, Falcao, Martinez, Armero too is great going forward.`
